Letters Patent No. 114,689, dated May 9, 1871.

, IMPROVEMENT m Devices FOR ssc unme coLLARs TO LAMPS, 840.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and'mak'ing part of the same.

To all whom it may concern collar as attached to a lamp, taken through the line x 22;, fig 2.

Figure 2. is'an under-side view of the collar. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved device for securing collars, tops, and caps to lamps, molasses-pitchers, and other articles of glassware requiring collars, tops, or caps to be attached to them; and

' It consists in the catches formed upon the collar,

' and the notches formed in the neck of the article, as

hereinafter more fully described.

""1 will describe my device as applied to a lamp-collar,

the application being the same in all cases.

A represents the neck of alamp.

"B represents the collar, which is constructed in-the ordinary manner.

In the outer sides of the neck A are formed two or more notches .or recesses, d, to receive the spring catches, b, which are formed upon or attached to the collar B in such positions as ,to springinto the notches or recesses d of the neck A when the collar is pushed down to its place.

A rubber band, 0, or other suitable packing, is placed upon th neck A,.beneath the collar B, to prevent leakage.

' With this device it will be almost impossible to remove the collar top or cap after-ithas once been adjusted in place without breaking the article.

This device avoids'all annoyance and danger from the dissolving of the cement by the oil or other contents of the vessel, as frequently happens whenthe caps, collars, or tops are secured with cement in the ordinary manner.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim'as new and desire to secure bv Letters Pat ent p 1. The spring catches b, in combination with the collar. cap, or top of. a lamp or other article, to adapt it to be secured to the said article, substantially in ,the

manner herein shown and described, and for the purpose. set forth.

2. The notches or recesses (1, formed in the outer side of the neck of .a lamp or other article of glass-ware to receive the spring catches b of the collar,-cap, or top of said article, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
